Introduction
Pehle seedha baat karte hain
2 saal pehle tak mummy-papa sochte the — “BYJU’S le lo, sabse bada brand hai.”
Aaj wohi parents bol rahe hain — “Beta, refund nahi mil raha. Kahan jaayein?”
Maine khud dekha hai. Ek father ne mujhe phone kiya raat 11 baje. Voice mein rona tha. “Sir, ₹1.35 lakh diye the. Ab company bankruptcy mein hai. Kya hoga?”
Maine kaha — “Aapne kyun diya itna paisa?”
Bole — “BYJU’S hai bada naam. Socha bharosa hai.”
Yahi problem hai.
Bada brand = bharosa? 2026 mein nahi.
Aaj main tumhe sach bataunga. BYJU’S kaunsa hai. Unacademy kahan khada hai. Aur kispe daav lagana safe hai.
Thoda lamba article hai. Par agar tum JEE, NEET, UPSC, ya koi competitive exam de rahe ho, toh yeh padhna. Kyunki galt platform choose kiya toh paisa bhi jayega, saal bhi jayega.
Ready? Chalo.

BYJU’S — $22 billion se zero tak ka safar
Kya haal hai 2026 mein?
Maine socha tha ki BYJU’S ka downfall main apni aankhon se dekh lunga. Par kabhi nahi socha tha ki itna tez hoga.
2021 mein BYJU’S ki valuation $22 billion thi. Duniya ki sabse badi edtech company.
Aaj?
Insolvency proceedings chal rahe hain. Matlab divaliya.
May 2026 mein NCLAT ne BCCI settlement ke baad bankruptcy roki. Par Supreme Court ne kaha — “Nahi, tab tak nahi rokenge jab tak Committee of Creditors (CoC) se approval nahi aati.”
Simple bhasha mein — Company abhi bhi doob rahi hai. Sirf thoda sa sahara mil gaya hai.
Course aur content kaisa hai?
Ab interesting baat suno.
Financial crisis hai. Par Aakash BYJU’S ka result NEET 2025 mein kamaal tha.
NEET UG 2025 — Top 10 mein se 5 rank Aakash ke students ne liye. AIR 2, 3, 5, 9, 10.
JEE Advanced 2025 — Top 100 mein 9 students.
Yeh numbers jhooth nahi bolte.
Par problem kya hai? Service unreliable ho gayi hai. Customer support ka telephone hi nahi uth raha. Kuch teachers ne chhod diya. App kabhi kabhi hang hota hai.
Fees aur refund ka sach
Bahut zyada paisa lete hain.
- Class 4-10 Maths aur Science — ₹26,000 saal ka
- Class 12 JEE/NEET Live Online — ₹85,000 saal ka
- Class 11 JEE/NEET 2 saal ka — ₹1,35,000
Aur refund?
15-day refund policy likha hai. Par kaam nahi karta.
Maine personally ek case dekha. Parent ne ₹80,000 diye. 7 din mein cancel kiya. BYJU’S ne refund nahi diya. Court gaye. Commission ne order diya — “₹80,000 wapas do, interest bhi do.”
Doosra case — ₹1.26 lakh ka refund.
Yeh company apne customers ke saath aisa kar rahi hai.
Unacademy — valuation gira, par educator strong hai
Kya haal hai 2026 mein?
Unacademy ki valuation $3.4 billion** thi kabhi. Aaj **$300 million reh gayi. 90% se zyada gira diya.
March 2026 mein upGrad ne Unacademy ko acquire karne ka term sheet sign kiya. All-stock deal hai.
CEO Gaurav Munjal bol rahe hain — “AI pe focus karenge. Phir badal denge market.”
Par merger ke baad kya hoga? Quality wahi rahegi? Price badhega? Koi nahi jaanta.
Educator quality — yahi Unacademy ki taakat hai
BYJU’S ka content acha hai, par Unacademy ke teachers ka fan following hai.
- Roman Saini — AIIMS doctor, phir IAS. UPSC ke liye bhagwan se kam nahi.
- Aartee Mishra — UPSC optional, history.
- JEE, NEET, Banking, SSC — har field mein koi na koi popular educator hai.
Unacademy Plus subscription ₹20,000-30,000 saal ka. BYJU’S se sasta.
Refund policy — yeh bhi problem hai
Unacademy ka refund policy strict hai. Online subscription pe refund nahi.
Ek user ne likha — “Multiple emails aur follow-ups ke baad bhi Unacademy ne refund deny kar diya. Bolte hain policy strict hai.”
Aur ek aur problem — Educator platform chhod kar chale jaate hain. Bahut baar aisa hua hai. Student ek teacher ke liye join karta hai. 3 mahine baad teacher chala gaya. Naya teacher aata hai, style alag hota hai. Phir se adjust karna padta hai.
Side by side comparison — Ek table mein dekho
| Feature | BYJU’S | Unacademy |
|---|---|---|
| Saal ka fee | ₹12,000 – ₹1,35,000 | ₹20,000 – ₹30,000 |
| Valuation status | Insolvency (divaliya) | 90% gira, $300M |
| Strong exams | NEET, JEE (Aakash ke through) | UPSC, JEE, NEET, Banking |
| Refund policy | 15 days likha hai, par nahi milta | Strict no-refund |
| Ownership | Think & Learn (insolvent) | upGrad acquire kar raha hai |
Exam wise — Kaunsa platform kis exam ke liye?
NEET aur JEE — Aakash ka result unbeatable hai
Aakash BYJU’S ne 2025 mein NEET mein Top 10 mein 5 rank diye. JEE Advanced mein Top 100 mein 9 rank.
Unacademy par bhi aache educators hain. Par result ki baat karein toh Aakash aage hai.
Par ek cheez yaad rakhna — BYJU’S ki company financial crisis mein hai. Aakash ka result acha hai, lekin long-term certainty nahi hai. Kal ko koi investor aake Aakash alag kar de? Ho sakta hai.
UPSC — Unacademy clearly better hai
UPSC mein Unacademy ka Roman Saini jaise educator kisi se kam nahi hai.
BYJU’S ka IAS course ₹91,000-1,11,000 hai. Par wahan UPSC-specific educator utne strong nahi hain.
Unacademy Plus ₹20,000 mein mil jaata hai. Free YouTube content bhi bahut hai.
Meri personal advice — UPSC ke liye pehle YouTube pe Unacademy ke free videos dekho. Phir lena paid subscription.
School aur foundation (Class 6-10)
BYJU’S ke animated videos bachhon ko pasand aate hain. Visual learning se concepts samajh mein aate hain.
Par fee ₹26,000 saal ka. Bahut hai.
Unacademy ka school section itna strong nahi hai.
Agar budget hai aur bachcha visual seekhta hai, toh BYJU’S le sakte ho. Par financial risk samajh ke.
Real stories — Jo maine khud dekhi
Case 1: BYJU’S ka refund scam
2025 mein ek parent ne BYJU’S mein ₹80,000 diye.
7 din mein cancel kiya.
BYJU’S ne refund nahi diya.
Parent court gaye.
Commission ne order diya — “BYJU’S ₹80,000 wapas kare, 9% interest bhi de.”
Yeh koi akela case nahi hai. Dozens of cases hain. Consumer commission ke paas.
Main puchta hoon — Aisi company jo customers ka paisa rok le, woh tumhara bharosa kaise legi?
Case 2: Aakash ka NEET topper — Success story bhi hai
Ab doosra pehlu dekho.
NEET UG 2025. All India Rank 2, 3, 5, 9, 10 — sab Aakash ke students.
35 se zyada students Top 100 mein.
Yeh numbers bahut solid hain.
Toh confusion yahi hai — Content aur results aache hain, par company doob rahi hai. Kya karein?
Pros and cons — Seedha seedha
BYJU’S
Acha kya hai:
- NEET/JEE mein Aakash ke results outstanding hain
- Animated videos, visual learning engaging hai
- CBSE, ICSE, state boards — sab cover hai
Bura kya hai:
- Company insolvency mein hai (divaliya)
- Refund policy ka naam suna hai, kaam nahi karta
- Bahut mehnga — ₹1.35 lakh for 2 years
- Customer support hai nahi. Phone nahi utha rahe.
Unacademy
Acha kya hai:
- Top educators — Roman Saini, Aartee Mishra
- UPSC mein best hai
- Free YouTube content bahut hai
- Doubt-clearing sessions structured hain
Bura kya hai:
- Valuation 90% se zyada gira
- Refund nahi milta — strict no-refund policy
- Educator chhod kar chale jaate hain (attrition problem)
- Ab upGrad acquire kar raha hai. Future uncertain hai
Real users kya bol rahe hain?
Kuch users ne likha — “BYJU’S ka content library bahut exhaustive hai. Har course ka material hai.”
Par bahut zyada negative feedback bhi hai.
Ek user ka tweet padha maine — “Unacademy is total fraud. BYJU’S is total show-baazi, no real content.”
Doosre user ne likha — “Refund requests go unanswered for months.”
Sach yeh hai — dono companies ka customer service aur refund policy bahut bekaar hai.
Yeh sawaal apne aap se pucho
- Kya ek company jo refund ka vaada todti hai, long-term chal sakti hai?
- Kya tum ₹1.35 lakh doobne ka risk le sakte ho?
- Agar Unacademy upGrad mein merge ho gayi, toh quality wahi rahegi? Price badhega?
- Kya tumhe guarantee chahiye ki platform 2 saal chalega? Nahi toh phir se naya platform dhundhna padega?
Socho. Phir decide karo.
Decision guide — Kaun le, kaun na le
BYJU’S lo AGAR:
- Tum NEET ya JEE ki top rank chahiye Aakash ke saath (lekin financial uncertainty ko samajh ke)
- Tumhe visual learning (animated videos) se concepts samajh mein aate hain
- Tumhare paas premium fees dene ki capacity hai aur short-term results chahiye
Par yaad rakhna — Company doob sakti hai. Service band ho sakti hai. Customer support milega nahi.
Unacademy lo AGAR:
- Tum UPSC, banking, ya SSC ki tayari kar rahe ho
- Tum top educators se live classes lena chahte ho
- Tum free YouTube content se start karke baad mein paid subscription lena chahte ho
- Tum structured doubt-clearing sessions ko value karte ho
Par yaad rakhna — Educator chhod kar ja sakta hai. Refund nahi milega. Merger ke baad sab kuch change ho sakta hai.
Alternative jo tumhe dekhna chahiye — PhysicsWallah (PW)

FAQ — Woh sawaal jo bahar nahi milte
1. Kya BYJU’S 2026 mein band ho jayega?
Full band hone ka chance kam hai. Par services pe asar aa sakta hai. Customer support already down hai. Teachers chhod rahe hain. App mein issues aa rahe hain. Safe nahi hai.
2. Unacademy ab upGrad ka hissa hai?
March 2026 mein term sheet sign hua hai. CCI ki approval baaki hai. Fully finalized nahi hai. Abhi bhi Unacademy apne aap mein hai.
3. BYJU’S ka 15-day refund policy kaam karta hai?
Bilkul nahi. Consumer commission ke paas dozen of cases hain. Court ne BYJU’S ko refund karne ke order diye hain. Par company nahi kar rahi.
4. Unacademy Plus kitne ka hai?
₹20,000-30,000 saal ka. Exam aur course type pe depend karta hai.
5. UPSC ke liye kaun better hai?
Unacademy. Roman Saini aur Aartee Mishra jaise educators yahan hain. BYJU’S ka IAS course mehnga hai aur educator quality utni strong nahi hai.
6. BYJU’S ke Aakash ke NEET results real hain?
Haan, real hain. NEET UG 2025 mein Top 10 mein 5 rank Aakash ke. JEE Advanced mein Top 100 mein 9. Result acha hai, par company unstable hai.
7. Kaunsa sasta hai — BYJU’S ya Unacademy?
Unacademy. ₹20,000-30,000 saal ka. BYJU’S ₹12,000 se shuru hota hai par JEE/NEET ka ₹85,000-1,35,000 hai.
8. Kya BYJU’S Hindi mein padhai hoti hai?
Haan. BYJU’S app Hindi samet 10+ bhashaon mein content deta hai.
9. Agar Unacademy ka educator platform chhod gaya toh?
Yeh bahut badi problem hai. Bahut baar hua hai. Student teacher ke liye join karta hai, teacher chala jaata hai. Phir naye teacher se adjust karna padta hai. BYJU’S mein yeh problem kam hai.
10. Koi reliable alternative hai?
Haan — PhysicsWallah (PW). IPO successful. Valuation $3.6 billion. Profitable business model. Affordable. Stable. Yahi sabse safe option hai 2026 mein. Vedantu aur Khan Academy (free) bhi dekh sakte ho.
Conclusion — Itna sab padh liya, ab kya karein?
Main seedha bolta hoon.
BYJU’S ka Aakash — NEET aur JEE mein result kamaal hai. Par company doob rahi hai. Customer support nahi hai. Refund nahi milta. ₹1.35 lakh doob sakte hain.
Unacademy — UPSC mein best hai. Top educators hain. Par valuation 90% giri. Merger ho raha hai. Educator chhod kar jaate hain. Refund nahi milta.
Dono unreliable hain.
Agar tum long-term stability chahte ho, affordable platform chahte ho, aur company ke financial circus mein nahi padna chahte — toh PhysicsWallah dekho.
Aur haan.
Kisi bhi platform mein paisa lagane se pehle:
- Free trial lo (agar hai toh)
- Refund policy padho — likha hua le lo
- Student reviews padho — Trustpilot, Google Reviews, Reddit
- 3 mahine ka subscription lo — saal ka mat lo
Paisa tumhara hai. Saal tumhara hai.
Kisi company ki “bada brand hai” wali baat mein mat aana.
Acha lagta hai toh share karna. Kisi aur ki bhi help ho jayegi.
